But some of those bugs (stability, reliability) might already have been fixed in the new (as yet unreleased) version of PureOS. I can understand that you might not want “new features”.

Maybe a crowdfunding infrastructure could be built on top of Taler.
It is until 1 June 2024 possible to apply for funding by the EU to work on this.
NGI TALER is a project funded by the European Commission and the Swiss State to roll out a new electronic payment system that benefits everyone: people, merchants, banks, financial authorities, auditors and anti-corruption researchers. The project doesn’t start from scratch, but builds on the strong foundations of GNU Taler — the privacy-preserving digital payment system developed by the GNU community and Taler Systems SA.

GNU Taler needs to be developed and implemented first, so it is another chicken and egg problem.

Yes, but there is funding available to build it.
From Open Calls Helpdesk - TALER ICH
“The third vertical market addresses charitable donations, pledges and crowd-funding for the Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) ecosystem. This will then enable more systematic donations along the software supply chain. The #Free Software Supply Chain integration is led by our partner NLnet Foundation, a non-profit leading philanthropy in the European Next Generation Internet, based in Amsterdam, and an active grant maker in a global technology landscape, working on a day to day basis with many hundreds of free and open source projects over sixty countries.”

Okay, so what are you suggesting, leader?

Did you look deeper into it? Is the project something positive or just advertised in a positive way? It’s “funded by the European Commission” which I do not trust at all (usually wants all the bad digital things).

If there is someone who has skills to work on for example extending the PureOS Store (but then probably directly upstream for GNOME Software) with payments, this work might be eligible to receive funding.
I do not know all the details, but the EU is doing quite some funding on FOSS via Next Generation Internet (NGI). Partially through NLnet, a Dutch foundation.

Okay, so based on your suggestion, someone from Purism needs to implement Taler in the web shop, then apply for funding. However, based on what @JCS stated earlier, along with the WooCommerce listing, I do not see a need for it for crowdfunding Crimson.

I meant mainly funding for: “Eventually we hope that the upstream authors will submit their apps to PureOS store directly, which will enable them to also receive donations via our upcoming payment system.” from this post.
But there is also the NGI Mobifree for more ethical and human mobile software. One can submit proposals to NGI Mobifree as well.
Projects should have a European dimension, but this is broadly interpreted. See the question “Can anyone in the whole world submit?” on the FAQ page.

Okay, I suggest creating a separate thread for funding Teler implementation in the PureOS Store for crowdfunding Flatpak developers instead of hijacking the crowdfunding Crimson thread.

There was a Crimson update from @JCS in a different thread:
There was also an announcement for the Librem 16:
My offer to match @Ick’s one-time donation is now rescinded, so I will be preparing to purchase the Librem 16 for my own security needs while indirectly funding Crimson.

For whomever is not on LiberaPay: starting today, you can now support @guido.gunther via GitHub Sponsors, too!
Update: @dos has a Sponsors page now as well. Go click and support their valuable work!
To keep it sustainable, consider supporting them with a smaller monthly amount rather than a larger one-time donation.

I will be honest, i NOT like it how Phosh UI is looking now(Liked before), phosh look like an Android UI ATM, so i will not happy to sponsoring to Guido. Sorry to say that, but it is what i thinking…
I want a Mobile UI that doesn’t remind me Android on anything, and that i feel like I’m on a purely gnu mobile system. Starting with Fedora-plymount packages…this is ridiculous on gnu/linux mobile system.
And please don’t take my comment wrong, i just want to be transparent.

Why don’t you propose a UI design? If the community members approve of it, they may collaborate on its development.

Even if I would agree, it is not as easy as you think. I was working a whole month on such a design and I’m sure it will never make the way into Phosh for different reasons.
Anyway @carlosgonz, I still want to know what is looking like Android on the current published version. We cannot agree or disagree if we don’t know what you’re talking about.

I will share a images for you, when i got time. Probably the Android parts introduced in Phosh come from Gnome Mobile UI however i not checked this.
I also have doubts about if Guido Gunther Phosh work is for Gnome, Purism, Personal or Community money? or is still unemployed?

As far as I know he just wants to have a little support for his work that he does in spare time. And I think he deserves it (whatever we think about Phosh in general, just speaking about his effort). But if you want to know it in detail, better just ping him and ask.
